Father zanm on the Islands.

Our readers will probably call to mind
the Rev. J. A. Zahm, Professor of Ply
steal Science in the University of Notre
Dame, Indiana, who visited the
Islands in July, 1886. He travelled all
over the group, and wrote a series of
letters which were published from time
to time in the ''Rocky Mountain News .
In answer to numerous calls, Father
Zahm has had these letters reprinted III
pamphlet form. They are republished
as they originally appeared, and are as
Father Zahm says, merely souvenirs of
a portion of a pleasantly spent vacation
These series of letters are exceedingly
well written and very interesting. The
pamphlet is interspersed with a number
of pictures, such as the harbor, Govern
ment Building, Iolani Palace, the Vol
cano, Leper Settlement, etc.

SATURDAY :
A FREE COUNTRY.

All visitors to these Islands are con
slant and warm in their praises of the
rich beauty Of the scenery and the de
lightfulness OF the genial climate. There
has not been very much occurring in
past times, of sufficiently stirring a ma
ture to attract any serious comment on
the character of the political institutions
OF this Island Kingdom but the large
and honorable body of visitors now in
our capital city in making their observa-
tons about the scenery and climate have
added to their comments in several in
stances by remarking that they thought
this was ga pretty free country" if they
might judge from the frequency and ma
ture OF the COMMENSURATE printed and
5poken-upon the authorities of the
and.
1t is not likely that any of our Ameri-
AN friends, or British either for that
natter, who are accustomed to a very
rec and sometimes INSCRIPTIONS dis
cIssion of their rulers, will regard our
rec discussions as any special novelty
But, in looking around and considering
lhe state of affairs under their observa-
ton, they will not find anything more
IN our heated political discussions than
q restless anxiety for political change
There are certainly amusing exaggera-
tons about the tone and temper OF the
masses, and the grave tension of public
feeling in regard to Government meas
ures and actions. But what are the
facts? There are between 5000 and
10 100 voters in the Kingdom, of whom,
sa not more than 500 are foreigners.
Th- whole agitation is confined to a
small, but persistent and noisy traction
ri ibis foreign element. At least four
ifths of the voting population-the real
ccnstituency of public authority-are
loyal to their ruler; one not only chosen
by the representatives of the people, but
having claim to rule by hereditary
right to the Throne. There is not
ripple on the surface of the real mass Of |
the constituency, and true observers OF
the condition OF Hawaii will not be car

spired in saloon or at a street corner.
The Government of His Majesty the |
King, conscious of the support of the
OF the people, can we'll bear
with equanimity the diatribes of those
who desire change, and who further
more are anxious to participate in the
results of the change, and therefore can
have no reason to check or interfere
with the very free discussion of this free
country.
We derive the inspiration that affects
our political character from our great
American foster-parent, and the King
and his people are animated with a
strong national hope and purpose that
he free spirit of America impaired to
Hawaii will lead her along a pathway of
rational progress, and secure the per
nanent independence of her people I'M

Disttnguished Passengers.

Among the through passengers by the
Alameda are the Earl and Countess OF
Aberdeen. They were met on the
steamer by Major J. H. Wodehouse, h.
B. MS Commissioner and Consul
General, whose guest they will be during
the vessels stay in port.
Lord Aberdeen is the seventh earl
and is son of the Earl OF Aberdeen, who
was the British Premier in 1854. He
was born in 1847, and was educated al
the University of St. Andrews and al
Oxford University, where III 1871 he
graduated NJ. A He entered the House
OF Peers as a Conservative, but in 1876
he disagreed with few OF the principal
measures of that party, and his views
underwent a change. In 1880 he was
appointed Lord-Lieutenant of Aberdeen
shire, and in 1881 High Commissioner
to the General Assembly Of the Church
of Scotland. In 1886 Mr. Gladstone APP
pointed him Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland,
and he occupied that difficult post with
credit to his Government and satisfaction
to the country over which he had been
placed 1t was during this period that
Lady Aberdeen, who is a daughter of
the first Lord TweedmOuth, endeared
herself to the people of Ireland, for her
intercourse with the populace was
marked by a rare and kindly interest
that rapidly created a personal attach
ment.
The Earl and Countess met with the
most enthusiastic reception during their
visit to the Colonies.

Press and daily Dakotaian. (Yankton, Dakota Territory [S.D.]) 1880-1889, 1887-07-22

The Washington %, o. Star of the
10th inst says editorlally:
Dakota's division convention appar-
entity voices the real opinion of the
people of the territory. North and south
Dakota wish to be separated. Each
part would then be equsled in size by
very few OF the states of the union. OPP
position to division finds its main
strength in the argument that Dakota
will not be admitted to the union by the
present congress except as single state.
It is q drawback to healthfui national
growth that the admission of new states
has come, to be viewed as 80 largely q
political and partisan manner, and is 80
seldom treated as an act OF right and just
ness to American citizens and of benefit
to the expanding republic.
We of Dakota realize the extent
of the drawback more fully than it can
be realized in the existing states. The
realization comes to us in the every day
transactions OF business, in all our politi-
cal movements and it even invades the
domain of religion, which is surrounded
by laws created for polygamous Utah
and made applicable to all the territor-
les. The wheels of progress are impeded
by our territorial condition and devel-
opments is SO checked that we are un.
able to make the best use of our native
advantages. Ii the people of the states
appreciated this as we appreciate it
there would be expressed something
stronger then the cold hope that Dakota
may by and by be given place in the
union The American people are not
Indifferent to national wrongs when
once their attention is brought
to bear upon an existing evil
But they are 80 busy with thei,
own business that their comprehension
and their Bympathies can only be reach
ed through some circumstance startling
enough to arouse them from their slug
gish dream OF sell. II all those who
compose this American nation would
halt for an hour and devote their
thoughts assiduously to Dakota, its
claims upon them and its rights and its
wrongs, the voice OF public opinion
would rise SO strongly in our behalf tina,
the first business of congress would be
the creation of two new states from the
domain now known as the territory o.
| Dakota. How to reach down into the
ecmprehension and understanding of tn,
great mental organism which give,
vitality to this republic hes long beer
the problem with our statehood workers
The Washington Star has caught
Iglimpse at the true condition of affairs
out here and has caught i
through the coming togethe
OF the last of q long series OF convention
in behalf of division. Dakota make
progress into the understanding of tn
nation by slow and paiaful steps. Th,
last convention has done something ii
behalf OF recognition OF our rights. &

He IS doing and has done harm which it
will take years to undo. The full extent
of his misunderstanding will not be dis
covered until years after he has gone ont
of office, the men whom he has encourag-
cd to violate the laws are ousted as they
must be, by the courts from lands to
which it was impossible that they ahould
ever obtain shadow of title.
These are two principles, according to
which MIR. Sparks conducts the business
OF his office: the first is that any man
seeking to acquire land under the feder-
al laws ls. by that fact, proved - be
land thief or an accompl;ce; the sec
ond is that there is no validity in any
past act of congress br proceeding
OF the interior department by which
title to land passed into the hands OF
railroad corporations. The case of the
swamp lands in the Duluth district illus
trates the former position. The score
tary of the interior, finding not u scrap
OF evidence to sustain the Sparks claim
of fraud, has ordered the patent to be
issued, And through this most yexa-
tIous process of application to the land
office, groundless refusal, appeal to the
secretary, and final overriding of Mr..
Sparks, must the business of almost
every settler be- carried before he can
secure the benefits freely assured to him
by federal law. Yet this is trihe to the
injnry thati is being done by Sparks in am
other direction. Not only has he encour-
aged settlement upon railroad in6emni-.
ty lands, but his snbordInates actually
receive money from ignorant immigrants
who desire to settle upon lands definite
ly within original land grant territory.
and already long ago certified to the
state and patented to the company.
This is worse than the work off crank.
II iH robbing the settler for the mere
mischievous pleasurs of stirring up liti-
cation that can have but one ending
The policy of Sparks has been from the
fret a vexation to every honest settler in
the northwest. As he grows. more vic.
lent and law-defying in his movements,
his continuance in responsible position
is scarcely less then crime.

Parnell Makes Significant speech.
London, J uly a0--Parnell aud many
of his colleagues were entertained at o
banquet by the National liberal club.
The health of the queen was proposed
by Dillon. The guests all arose and drank
the toast. Parnell eulogized Gladstone
and wondered how long Englishmen
would be content to see the government
march up hill and down again. The
English liberals might be assured that
their exertions would not be wasted
Although in Ireland extreme misery had
been suffered during the past eighteen
months crime had diminished and
people had turned to constitutional
methods of adjusting their grievances
instead Of physical force. III the liberals
failed to carry ont their programme,
their great reward woald be, that they
had banished violence, revenge, out
rage, and brought nation to depend
upon lawful methods of redress. The
diminution OF crime proves the gratitude
Of Ireland toward the liberals and he
hoped that when oppressed, trampled
| upon and evicted they would retaliate
slowly. They should remember that
the tory government would not last
| forever.

Yankton's position in relation to the
Illinois Central railroad and its projected
western extension is clearly outlined in
a letter from Commodore Coulson, Civ.
ing the result of an interview with the
general manager. But for the interven.
ing engineering difficulties there would
be no question about the contamination
of this project. The company is de-
sirous OF building the extension and will
build it if route can be found by whiot
heavy grades may be avoided. In this
work our cltizeps can lend valuable aid
and no.time should be lost in the effort
The enterprise is one OF great Importance
to our city and we should give to it i'm
mediate attention.
